2012 Wood Duck

Terry was commissioned to carve this Wood Duck after last years Artistry in Wood. He finished it the day before it was due to enter this year. He tried a new carving technique on it after attending a seminar at the Columbia Flyaway in Vancover Washington last fall. He always fusses over what is wrong with his carvings, yet he did quite well taking a Blue Ribbon in catagory and a Green for Best in Division. The Wood Duck has gone to a good home in Wasilla, Alaska. He also received a Blue Ribbon for the Chick-a-dees posted below. Their new home is at his Mom's in Big Lake, Alaska. He'll be carving away next time home as it's his last hitch to carve before break-up and Summer when he can play in his new boat.

About Me

Welcome to Quack Shack Carvings! I, Rhonda,started this blog for Terry so that interested family and friends could see what he's working on and completed. He will be doing the carving I'll be blogging, computers are not Terry's thing.
Terry was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. His Dad worked on the Alaska Railroad so as a kid he was able to explore Alaska via the rail. His second favorite past-time is Fall Fishing for Silver Salmon on the Kenai River. We live on a lake; where we feed and enjoy watching the wildfowl. In 2006 he took a few duck carving classes and discovered a new passion. It has resulted in the pieces displayed here.
Terry's work schedule gives him the time he wants and needs to spend time carving. That's why in 2009 we spent the time and money to build a studio to work in. Pictures of it are posted in the blog.
Terry would like it if you became a follower of his carvings. Also click on any of the pictures to get a larger detailed version of the carving. Please leave comments as we would appreciate your feedback.
